Magyar’s position raises the possibility that his government may reconsider or reverse Orbán’s earlier decision to leave the ICC.
Hungary’s newly elected leader Peter Magyar said his government may be required to honor the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite having previously extended an invitation to him, according to Agence France-Presse,
Magyar indicated that Hungary could be obligated to act in accordance with ICC commitments if it remains a member of the court, suggesting that any individual subject to an active warrant could face detention.
His remarks signal a potential shift in policy from the previous government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, which had taken a pro-Israel stance.
